Over %,
Anaconda Review: Yesterday morning
the citizens OF Anaconda were startled by
the rumor that E. II. Stanton & Co.'s
store had been robbed the night before. A
Review man hurried down to the place Of
business only to find the rumor confirmed.
The robbers had cut the wire screen door
and reaching inside took off the lock from
the other door and thus gained an en-.
trance. Once inside he made for the safe,
aud as it was some n who knew the
combination, he quickly relieved the safe
of it's contents amounting to over $4,000,
and decamped leaving no trace behind.
Tuesday Mr.. Stanton had received a
considerable sum OF money from the
different customers who had placed their
monthly bills, and most of this amount
came in too late for him to bank it, SO it
was put in his safe and locked up. Mr..
Stanton states hat the sale was he
had purchased from w B. Doddrige over a
year ago, and that he had never changed
the combination and also that be was ig,
norant of the real number OF persons who
knew the combination. j. w. Barker had
made some collections on his own accounts
and for safe keeping had placed $11O
in Mr.. Stanton's safe Tuesday evening. and
that sum is with the rest of the contents
OF the safe in the possession of the bur-
glars. Whoever the parties were, they
were certainly perfectly familiar with
everything connected with the establish.
ment, and their work wat done quickly.
Detectives are now at work and it is hoped
that they will soon have q clew TO work
from.

SGAN AS TO MIR. CAKES.

We are ~profoundedly grieved to see that
our highly respected, esteemed audi in every
way ~favorite contemporary. the Inter
Mountain, is induced to be hypercritical
in connection with Mr.. Cakes management
Of the Northern Pacific. We may be, and
are doubtless obtuse in the Cakes matter,
and in fact, as alleged. we may be ~antagon-
istic to public opinion in this city OF Butte
in this matter, but we happen to enjoy the
confidence of Mr.. Cakes and to know from
his own declarations that he regards Butte
as one OF the best traffic points on the line
Of the great transcontinental, and
to the end that he would build
up the business OF his line be
is inte that the city shall have every
advantage that he can give it. We chal-
lenge any citizen of Butte to make a
showing to the contrary, We are assured
that Mr.. Cakes may il he shall so elect,
be the next President of the Northern Pa
cifc and when he shall accept that re-
sponsibility he will exercise even more in
the future than in the past, a good in
luence in our behalf. Heretofore he has
done all in his power for Butte. Should
he become President he could accomplish
much more in carrying out his plans.
Then is it not better for the
future of the people Of Butte
to sustain Mr.. Cakes than to
make captious criticism upon his course in
regard to the traffic business Of this city?
The methods Of our esteemed contempt
rary, the Inter Mountain, are ~antagonistic
to our own and to the best interests OF
Butte in our estimation, but we. OF course.
may be grossly in error. We think we are
right, however, and find consolation in
that conclusion.

Inexcusable S~ycOphancy.

BUTTE, July 14.-[To the Editor of the
Miner.]-Since that portion of the public
press which processes no individual inter.
est in either the spiritual or temporal
prosperity of the Church of Rome, have
taken the occasion to sneer at, and com
ment unfavorably upon the course pur-
sued by DR.. McGIynn, it has become a mat
ter OF surprise and more of regret that in
dependent journalism simply exists in
ATM and o in fact. and thatit will toady
to an element which has no interest in
common with republican institutions or
free government. It is not believed that
the popular sentiment has been expressed,
but it is believed that the public interest
has been neglected. The sympathy of true
Americans, who held highest allegiance to
the flag OF their country, is extended to the
man and martyr, who has shown the
moral courage to brave the curse of excom-
munication and who believed it a greater
honor to be d loyal American than a
Roman priest.
Those public journals which are subject
to fawning and toadyism have a motive as
we'll as a method in their madness, and the
fact is apparent that they are assisting.

A WESTERN UNION MISDEAL.

Superintendent Ames, OF the Rocky
Mountain Telegraph Company, is in the
city making arrangements with General
Manager Cairns for the opening OF an office
in Butte, which will be opened near the
st. Nicholas Hotel to-day. We shall then
expect O better telegraph service than we
have enjoyed in the past. Heretofore
everything has been haphazard. and
through no fault of Manager Green and his
able assistants, who have worked in and
out OF season, the measly management OF
the Western Union has relied upon Mr..
Dutton, the able Associated operator, to
handle the report and to take care of the
local and the rest of the business, and at
the same time receive The MINER specials
and to send the specials OF The MINERR
staff to the Atlantic, the Pacific and in
termediate papers. This service could not
be performed by any one single man and
the acknowledgment OF the Western Union
at Omaha knew it. The MINER has sui
fered from this sort OF service and every
subscriber it has. has suffered in the same
way, until fo~rbearance has ceased to be
that virtue which is claimed for it.. The
time has now arrived when there shall be
an end OF this business. The MINER now
proposes to get it's service over the new
line at all competitive points
and it's staff propose to
send their service over the new line until
the Western Union shall wake up to theim-
portance OF Butte as a telegraph center for
the distribution OF news. We care not for
the monopoly feature OF the Western
Union, which it has exercised for all of these
years. 1t has even gone out OF it's way to
Cypress and annoy the press and the peo-
pie of Butte. Now, there should be an end
of all OF this business. To-day will mark a
new epoch in the telegraph service OF
Butte, and the tow string. which has been do
ing service between here and Ogden, shall
down in the common ruin which has
characterized the service between these two
important points. And the Western Union
and the Union Pacific, which have been
responsible for this condition OF al
fairs, are hereby admonished TO better the
condition of things or to suffer the conse-
quences of their mutual default.

A CHANCE ACQUAINTANCE.

A Cowboy Falls q Victim to Misplaced
Confidence in q Needy Stranger.
On Tuesday evening last two men named
Oleson, who claimed to be a cowboy, and
Dillon, who looked more a tramp than
aught else, applied for beds at Grey's lodg-
ing house, Park and Broadway. Oleson
gave Grey 1925 to keep for him till morn
ing. Gray was particular to identify the
man and see that he got his money in the
morning when he and his mate left. The
latter was a chance acquaintance whom
Oleson b%efriended, as he had been without
a meal or bed for a couple Of days.
On Wednesday they were together all day
and evening, and at three O'Clock yesterday
morning they returned to Grey's lodging
house and turned into bed, Oleson having
been drinking freely. He gave Gray no
money then. At 6 o'clock Dillon got up
and went out. Grey
THOUGHT THIS ODD
as they had only been three hours IN bed,
so he went and walked Oleson and asked
him if he had any money or %valuables with
him as his friend had got up suspiciously
early. Oleson said he had left 500 with
the night barkeeper in the saloon on the
first floor. Grey went down to the place
and asked if it was as Oleson had stated
and was shown an envelope with "Broncho
Sam" ON it. This man ia up stairs
asleep now" said Grey. $50 to be sure
you make no mistake give me a slip of
paper with the amount upon it, hat no
one but Oleson may get it when he presents
the Slip" The barkeeper did so and Ole
son received the slip. At s o'clock Dillon
returned and looked in where Oleson was
sleeping. Grey asked him if he
HADN'T BETTER TURN IN
and take a little more sleep, az he had not
had much. He repli I'd he didn't need much
sleep anyway, and turning round, left at
once. About IL O'Clock Oleson got up and
went down to the saloon, and presenting
his slip, asked for his money. He then dis
t: at Dillon had been there ahead
of him and collected the envelope from the
day barkeeper, who was unacquainted with
the circumstances, and to whom he de-
the envelope with the accuracy of
an owner. 1t was found he had left town
by the 9 O'Clock northbound train. Tele-
grams were sent to various points descrih-
ing him. but without avail SO far.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Helena
Independent, is of the opinion that the Leg
islature is to be paid for it's special session
from the general Government fund, and
that it does not depend on Territorial war
rants for remuneration for correcting the
mistake it made at the last session. We are
delighted to learn this fact. The last Legis-
lature is entitled to remuneration for revis-
ing their own work, and we would see them
get it in cash instead of in warrants, as
they may need it in their business.

As to the Good Squirrel Bill.

BUTTE, July 14.-[To the Editor of The
Miner.]-In your issue this morning you
say the members Of the Legislature will re-
ceive pay for their services in Territorial
warrants instead Of cash, owing to the de-
pletion OF the Territorial finances, which
was brought about by the payment OF
bounties on squirrel scalps. The Inter
Mountain, taking this for a text, urges the
converting OF an extra session to repeal the
bounty law.
Now, as a matter OF fact. the members of
the Legislature sre not paid by the Terri.
tory, but by the United States. The Gov
ernor OF the Territory cannot call an extra
session without the sanction of the powers
that be in Washington, and unless a new
order OF things has arisen, the members will
be paid in cash from an appropriation
made for that purpose. REX.

have the special session called because it
would help the prickly pear real estate

something of a relapse.
